We arrived home as a family of four on January 28th. Delays in the Embassy kept us in Ethiopia a week longer than planned but we knew it was all in God's timing. We miss the precious friends we have made and are trying to stay in touch with them. The boys speak frequently of their friends from the transition house and guest house.
We have been so blessed with two precious boys. They have settled in well, have completely gotten over their fear of the dogs, to the point they torment them now. They sleep in their own beds and are not afraid to. They have already seen so many "firsts". It is difficult to even put them down in writing.
Monday they start school. Fekadu is very excited and wants to continue working with his English, and Abinet, well, what can I say about a three year old in school.
Fekadu had his first dentist appointment and we will be starting on his extensive dental work the first of March. Abinet has his first dental visit scheduled about that same time but we aren't sure he will be able to sit still long enough to let the dentist look at his teeth.
Last weekend we spent at the cabin with some precious dear friends and their two daughters. It was the first time the boys had been in the snow for any length of time. We couldn't get them in the cabin at all even when they were wet and cold! The first words before breakfast in the morning were boots, coat mommy boots, coat mommy!
All is well, what a change. Blessed are we, Thank you Lord for the gift.

Oh, this warms my heart! Love the pictures and glad things are going well.
